HOI WORKPLACES

OFFICES THAT WORK

Custom made meeting room and podium for Accent. 
WE DESIGN AND BUILD OFFICES. FROM FIRST CONCEPT TO FINISHED SPACE.

WE LOOK AT EVERYTHING THAT DETERMINES WHETHER AN OFFICE WORKS, AND WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT THE COMPANY THAT BUILT IT. FUNCTIONALITY, CIRCULATION, FLEXIBILITY, FURNITURE, AND SO MUCH MORE

EVERY DECISION IS MADE IN CLOSE CONTACT WITH THE PEOPLE WHO'll USE THE SPACE.

THE OFFICE IS A MEMBERS CLUB

BUILT TO BE CHOSEN

AN OFFICE HOLDS TWO KINDS OF VALUES AT ONCE.

WORK: WHETHER THE SPACE LETS THEM THINK, DECIDE, CREATE AND FINISH SOMETHING.
&
SOCIAL: THE REASON PEOPLE WANT TO BE NEAR EACH OTHER. COLLEAGUES. CONVERSATION. 
THE ENERGY AND IDENTITY OF THE COMPANY WHERE THEY WORK.

A WELL DESIGNED OFFICE  IS ONE THAT PROVIDES ENOUGH ADDED VALUE FOR THE WAY PEOPLE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING.

TWO VALUES

THE WORKPLACE STRATEGY OF HOI IS TO COMBINE BOTH VALUES IN ONE OFFICE.
Interior of a custom made office with a sitting area, a workspace with a Vitra taskchair, a coffee station, and sheer curtains over a large window, all featuring a minimalist design with wooden accents.

  • ACCESS: to a place, but more importantly to the people who are also there. The building is secondary to who's inside it.

  • COMMUNITY: the same faces, seen often enough to become familiar. Regulars who set the tone.

  • HOSPITALITY: the sense of being expected, not just admitted. Greeted, not processed.

  • IDENTITY: belonging to something with a defined character, which becomes part of how a member describes themselves.

  • ATMOSPHERE: an environment tuned for how people actually want to spend time, not just function.

  • A REASON TO RETURN: nothing urgent pulling them back, and yet they come anyway, repeatedly, by choice.

MEMBERS CLUB

A MEMBERS CLUB IS A MORE THAN A SPACE. IT IS A PLACE THAT PROVIDES A CONSISTENT SET OF THINGS:

MOVING, GROWING, OR SIMPLY CHOOSING TO

WHATEVER THE REASON, THE CONVERSATION STARTS BEFORE THE FLOOR PLAN DOES
